the teeth crosshair on the focus sprite looks a little muddled. maybe making it (the teeth) a little more opaque would help...other than that, i think they look nothing short of <i>amazing</i>.
On the silence sprite, I think it would look a lot better if the ripples were elongated on the X axis, that way it would look more like the skulk was putting it's foot on the floor.
I liked the sof with the silhouette of the marine and the red heartt, one of the early ones. And a suggestion for silence: a marine with his hands over his ears. Nice job so far Shazbot!
Here's a screenshot of them in action... I think adrenaline needs some cleaning up... or revamping.
I should mention, NS distorts the picture to 75% height, so I have to distort the width to 75% for it to become round, and not oval. That's why they appear smaller.
nice man, i thought, focus -> teeth and you put it exactly into sprite form <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
i like how its lookin, but yeah the adren needs a bit of work, its... ok, but its not very original, bit plain
Celerity: The Onos doesn't look to be very fast. Perhaps add some "ghosts" behind him to create a "zoooooooooooooooooooooooooom!" effect.
Adrenalin: Something else would be better, perhaps an enlarged vein or anything that reminds you of the effect in comics when people show off how they can play with their muscles.
Redemption: The hive looks, compared to the others, a bit plain and pale.
Cloaking: Not enough in there, much unused space. Perhaps add some lines to create a "shimmering" effect.
Regeneration: The + is lacking an "alien" look. Some cracks or such perhaps.
I actually like most of those now, i think with cloaking, simplicity is what makes it look good, and it follows suit with the other two nicely- if you were to add anything else to it, make sure it doesn't overpower the look of it now.
Also, personal preference for SOF is your second last one, i think the entire red all over detracts from the sillhoette theme you got going with sensory...though it still looks great if you don't agree with me <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Other than those 2, i agree with obst's comments, the hive could use something....and cara is a bit bright, and i think perhaps regen could do with an alien 'veiny' look.

Really nice work <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Move the armor in the carapace a bit down, so it doesn't look like if it went through the "roof" of the icon <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The celerity is perfect, exactly as I imagined.
For the regeneration I'd suggest more, but smaller veins.

Carapace: Too bright at the top.

Fkn brilliant though, keep the concepts churning <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Edit: Cleared it up a little. Fixed usage of wrong model.
Edit: Added forgotten glow.
Edit: Tweak

<b>...done</b>
Kinda predator-esque but with a more NS feel.
EDIT: Actually bothered to read the thread.
Yeah that SoF looks not bad.
Make the capace fatter, it's too wimpy atm. It's Carapace not shin guards afterall.
The celerity is perfect, exactly as I imagined.

See if you can spot the change I made to the layout.
Edit: Minor change.
